Inside the storeroom, a dozen or so guards from the Prince's Palace were about to move things out.
"Put your things down and get out." Nangong Wu's voice was icy, and she pointed her pistol at them.
"Yes, yes." The guard quickly put down his things and left.
One guard stood still and did not move.
"Do you want to die?" Nangong Wu pointed the gun at him.
The guard suddenly knelt down before her and kowtowed. "Princess Runing, I am willing to tell you where the treasures of the Prince's mansion are hidden. I only hope that you can help me kill the Prince of Wu and all his children."
"You are a guard of the Wu Prince's mansion, yet you claim you want to kill the Wu Prince and his son? Do you think I, the princess, would believe you?" Nangong Wu became wary.
"The King of Wu and his men are all bad people; they all deserve to die!" The guard was somewhat agitated. "I joined the King of Wu's palace as a guard because I wanted to find an opportunity to kill the King and his son, but I've been here for over a year and haven't had a chance to do it."
"You dare to betray the King of Wu? Aren't you afraid of implicating your family?" Nangong Wu believed him to some extent, as long as he could help them find the location of the hidden treasure.
"My family is all gone. They were all exterminated by the King of Wu on charges of treason."
I was only fourteen years old at the time, studying away from home. It was only thanks to my family's loyal servant who risked his life to find me and take me away that I escaped this calamity.
"As long as you kill the King of Wu and his entire family, avenging my entire clan, I will not regret dying. I am willing to risk my life to protect you as you leave..." the guard cried.
"So you have a grudge against the King of Wu? Fine, as long as you can help me find the King of Wu's treasury, I'll believe you. Go outside and wait for a while," Nangong Wu said.
After hearing her words, the guard wiped away his tears, stood up, and left.
Nangong Wu closed the door and used her mind to collect everything inside.
She then took out a metal detector to check for gold and silver in the surrounding area.
"There isn't one." Nangong Wu was somewhat disappointed.
He put away the detector, then placed a time bomb, setting the timer for ten minutes later, before leaving the warehouse and closing the door behind him.
Seeing the guard standing at the door waiting, he dared not stand with the people from the Prince of Wu's residence.
Nangong Wu glanced at the people surrounding them. Everyone on the rooftops had their bows drawn and arrows nocked, and the ground was packed with people, numbering over ten thousand.
"Prince Wu, judging from your posture, you don't want to hand over the treasures of your royal palace?" She walked to Bei Chenyan's side and looked at Prince Wu in the crowd.
The Crown Prince of Wu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the guard following behind Nangong Wu.
"Xin Nan, so you were a spy for the Western Yan Kingdom."
"A spy from the Western Yan Kingdom? Hahaha..." Guard Xin Nan suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at King Wu.
"Tang Jinglin, do you still remember the Xin family, whom you wiped out ten years ago?"
The King of Wu's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he pointed at Xin Nan, making a "ah ah ah" sound at the Crown Prince of Wu.
That means the Crown Prince of Wu must kill Xin Nan.
"Xin Nan, so you're the Xin family member who betrayed the country and was ordered by His Majesty to have your entire family executed. I didn't expect that such a wicked child like you was missed."
The Crown Prince of Wu grinned maliciously at Xin Nan, "But since you actually dared to come out and court death, I will grant your wish. Go down and reunite with your family today."
"My Xin family has not colluded with the enemy or betrayed the country. It was that bastard Tang Jinglin who framed our family! It's because our Xin family refused to collude with your Wu Wang Mansion."
"Your Wu Prince's Mansion is full of ambition and your members are all vicious. You will all die a horrible death!" Xin Nan's eyes were red with anger.
"You want him dead, don't you! I'll help you." Nangong Wu raised her gun and pulled the trigger.
The Crown Prince of Wu was startled and quickly pulled a guard next to him to shield him.
"Bang!" The bullet struck the guard in the head.
Seeing her make a move, the guards quickly stepped in front of the Crown Prince of Wu.
"Your name is Xin Nan, right?" Nangong Wu looked at Xin Nan. "You lead us to find the treasure, and I'll avenge you."
"Yes!" Xin Nan drew the sword from her waist and led the way.
The guards retreated little by little; they could not act unless the prince gave the order.
"Nangong Wu, you are surrounded by heavy troops. You will not be able to escape tonight. Just accept your fate!" shouted the Crown Prince of Wu.
He was the eldest son of the King of Wu. Since the Queen Consort had no children, he was made the heir apparent. Under his father's protection, he didn't even respect the Crown Prince in the Eastern Jin Kingdom. Today, he was repeatedly provoked and threatened by Nangong Wu, and he could no longer tolerate it.
"Is that so? You think these pieces of trash can stop this princess?" Nangong Wu sneered, mentally summoning a Gatling gun.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince of Wu's expression changed drastically. He quickly retreated into the crowd, and several shields swiftly blocked his way.
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."
The bullet hit the shield.
"Quickly protect the Crown Prince!"
The Crown Prince of Wu withdrew under the protection of his guards.
"Trying to run?" Bei Chenyan took a grenade out of his bag.
"Wait, let him live a little longer." Nangong Wu raised her hand to stop him.
If the crown prince of Wu is killed now, the archers around might attack. Before the king's treasury is found, the father and son cannot die.
The Prince of Wu is the younger brother of the Emperor of Eastern Jin, and he wields immense power in the Eastern Jin Kingdom. He also plots to seize the throne, so his palace must be filled with gold and silver, which she must take.
Otherwise, even if they blew up the entire palace, the gold and silver would still be found and eventually end up in the treasury of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Bei Chenyan also realized this, so he put away the grenade and picked up the King of Wu.
"If they make a move later, you two better mind your own business," Nangong Wu said to Bei Chenyan and Xin Nan.
More and more people gathered around, tens of thousands inside and outside the mansion. It seemed that all the soldiers of the imperial city were here, and the Crown Prince of Wu could make a move at any moment.
"Thank you, Princess. Please follow me." Xin Nan drew her sword and led the way for them.
The guards and royal guards surrounding them retreated step by step.
"Get out of the way!" Nangong Wu said impatiently, firing a burst of bullets. A large number of people blocking their way fell down, and cries of pain rang out.
"Shoot arrows quickly, kill them!" the Crown Prince of Wu ordered angrily.
He had barely uttered his first word when Nangong Wu took action, raising her gun and firing fiercely at the nearest rooftop to their left.
"Da da da da da..."
The archers on the roof were shot before they could even fire; some did manage to shoot, but the arrows went astray.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Arrows rained down from their right and rear.
When Eileen saw that they were in danger in the space, she used a shield in one hand and a gun in the other to block an arrow from one side for Nangong Wu.
Xin Nan stood behind Nangong Wu, wielding her sword to block the rain of arrows.
As a guard in the Prince's mansion, his martial arts skills were undoubtedly high, and he managed to block this volley of arrows.
Bei Chenyan also made his move at the same time, holding the King of Wu in his left hand as a shield, while firing his machine gun at the archers with his right hand.
But the archers didn't dare to shoot the King of Wu, so he was safe.
With Xin Nan and Eileen protecting her, Nangong Wu unleashed the fiercest firepower. Wherever the bullets passed, the archers fell like cut grass.
